The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has suspended an officer, Michael Akomolafe, over alleged drug trafficking which resulted in his arraignment before a Federal High Court in Lagos State.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the NIS Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.
Udo said the attention of the service was drawn to a publication linking the officer serving at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos to drug trafficking.
He noted that the NIS was in support of the legal proceedings to determine Akomolafe’s culpability in the matter.

“The NIS awaits the court judgement before making further comments on this matter.”
Udo said NIS remained committed to excellent service delivery, discipline, and zero tolerance for criminality.
The NIS spokesperson added that the service would not hesitate to sanction any officer whose conduct was contrary to the ideals governing its operations.
